I was sorry to hear of Jim's passing this morning. We used to work together here at Chugach Electric. Jim was an outdoorsman and a fine craftsman. I saw a lot of his work at a mutual friend's house, where we used to visit and enjoy the campfire with friends many times.
My sympathies go out to you, his family and I'm sorry for your loss.
